THE “GOOD OLD DAYS”
BY STANLEY LUPINO—THERE WEREN’T ANY! (By Air Mail —From A Special Correspondent) LONDON, 27th November. Mr Stanley Lupino, speaking this week at a dinner of the Gallery First' Nighters’ Club, said they were often told about the good old days, but he did not remember any of them. “Once, he said, “there Were 14 members of my family working for a total weekly wage of £2O. “I remember that when my mother died they took away the furniture almost at the same time as her coffin. I sold newspapers then, wearing a sheet of brown paper coated with grease under my vest to keep the cold out, and for a time I slept on two overcoats in the scullery. There is not much ‘good old days’ about that. To-day is the good day of the theatre.” >
